This might be slightly off topic but is there some reason you don't
use NTP instead. More accurate, less overhead, less maintenance.

You could set up the Samba server(s) as NTP time servers for your
local subnet and run

net time /setsntp:"ntp server list" just once and you would be good to
go. You wouldn't need to worry about time after that.
